KN. Indonesian police announced that nearly 1,000 people have been named suspects in connection with violent protests that erupted across 12 provinces since late August, leaving 10 people dead and extensive public facilities damaged. Commissioner General Syahardiantono, head of the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency, said the suspects include 295 minors. Charges range from incitement and vandalism to arson, theft, assault, hate speech, and possession of weapons and explosives. “Law enforcement is being applied only to those involved in riots, not to citizens who protested peacefully,” Syahardiantono stressed at a press conference in Jakarta (Jakarta Globe).
